BRICS leaders voice concern over ‘growing risks’ of nuclear conflict

BRICS leaders have expressed serious concerns over the growing risks of nuclear conflict and deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure and peaceful nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards. During the BRICS Summit in New Delhi, the leaders adopted the 'New Delhi Declaration,' emphasizing the need to uphold nuclear safety, even in armed conflicts.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the declaration's adoption alongside other top BRICS leaders, who resolved their differences on the joint declaration despite disagreements between the UAE and Iran over the West Asia conflict. The declaration highlighted the importance of nuclear safeguards, disarmament, arms control, and non-proliferation efforts to maintain global stability and international peace.
